New Year without hassle!
Not only we are preparing for the New Year, but also our pets. The cat, for example, imagined that the Christmas tree is a real mouse and hunts for it around the clock. The dog invents cunning plans to steal the garland and has already gnawed through a dozen gift wraps! And the party hasn’t even started yet! How to resist mischievous people and meet the holiday without hassle?
If you have a pet in your house, you need a special approach to organizing a holiday. Otherwise, you risk spending New Year’s Eve not as planned! At the most inopportune moment, a four-legged trickster can knock over a Christmas tree and break toys, pull an exotic dish off the table and get indigestion or eat New Year’s rain, dooming his owner to an operational trip to the veterinary clinic. There are a lot of such examples, and you are unlikely to want to add to the list!
Our 10 tips will help protect yourself and your pet from unpleasant troubles and problems. Let nothing interfere with the holiday!
1. If possible, protect the Christmas tree from the pet. On the Internet, creative owners tell how to do it. Borrow their ideas or come up with your own new way!
2. Avoid small and glass toys. It is desirable that the pet does not have props that can be broken or swallowed.
3. Give up sparkles, New Year’s rain and small tinsel. This is especially true for cat owners! Domestic hunters cannot resist the brilliant decoration and often swallow it. The consequences can be the saddest. Protect your household from danger!
4. Treat your pet only to special treats. New Year is not a reason to share your delicacy with a dog or cat, because there is nothing good in this idea. One second of pleasure can turn into a huge number of health problems, ranging from a mild disorder to a severe allergic reaction.
5. When receiving guests, make sure that the pet does not run out of the apartment. In the pre-holiday bustle, a clever fugitive is very easy to miss. Unfortunately, animals are often lost this way.
6. Make sure that the pet does not offend the guests, and vice versa. The dog can become nervous from a large number of people in the apartment and behave unfriendly. And the cat without unnecessary ceremonies will scratch the little offenders who decide to pat his ears. Be careful. Isolate pets or discuss with guests how to communicate with them.
7. It is better to close suspicious, stressed pets for the duration of the celebration in a separate room, where it is as calm and quiet as possible. In order to prevent stress, it is better to purchase special safe preparations such as Mexidol-Veta, which prevent increased excitability, nervousness, and sleep disturbance. Discuss with your veterinarian the choice of the drug and give it to your pet according to the schedule a few days before the event.
8. If the pet is very afraid of noise and fuss, help him survive the stress. Consult your veterinarian, he will recommend safe sedatives for your pet.
9. Flappers are best used outdoors.
10. Going for a walk with firecrackers and firecrackers, do not take your pet with you! Even the most daring dog can be frightened by loud noise and off the leash, not to mention cats!
If it seems to you that the pet wants to celebrate the holiday on a grand scale and take a walk with you in a noisy crowd, you are mistaken. On New Year’s Eve, the best place for a pet is a warm, cozy and safe home.
We are sure you will take good care of your pet! We wish you the best holiday. With coming!
